Martha’s Vineyard Shopping

Come see what Martha’s Vineyard’s merchants have to offer and discover why shopping on the Vineyard is shopping as it should be. Even in the height of the summer season or before the holidays, the mood is relaxed and welcoming.

For many visitors, Martha’s Vineyard’s lack of shopping malls is part of its attraction. Here you will find one-of-a-kind and Islandmade items as well as familiar brands. Besides the charming shops of every description that line the main streets of Island towns, Martha’s Vineyard also offers other exciting options to shoppers. Craft fairs, farmers’ markets, artist and craft studios abound. Even the secondhand stores offer rare delights!

Don’t miss the Vineyard Artisan’s Festivals which take place Sundays and Thursdays from Memorial Day through the winter holidays, the West Tisbury Farmers Market which offers pantry items in addition to its fresh Island produce, and Featherstone Center for the Arts, where shoppers can buy locally made crafts and jewelry.

From beautiful crafted handworks, delicious small batch pantry items, carefully edited clothing collections, books, summer gear and all the basics, Martha’s Vineyard’s shops, though small, offer an astounding range of merchandise in an atmosphere that make shopping on the Island an exciting and enjoyable experience.
